Au Revoir Lucille

Last night the Cutlers came over for dinner and to pick up their French daughter. It was great catching up with them as we haven't seen them in such a long time. Lucille and I skewered some pretty delicious shish-kabobs that Don grilled (she calls them "sticks," as in, "we're having sticks for dinner.") We made a potato salad, a green salad, and a couple of pans of garlic bread sticks. And then we topped it off with vanilla ice cream topped with farm-fresh strawberries that Lucille and Dylan picked at Krause's. All in all it was a great evening except for the very sad ending when Lucille left, knowing that she wouldn't be coming back to our house for a long while. Her goal now is to be back for Patience's 6th birthday! I guess she really, really enjoyed Chuck E. Cheese's : )


This is Lucille and Nick on the Monday evening when Don brought her home and said, "Honey, I brought the French maid to help you out!" And she did!













The mean baby finds HAIR! Better than earrings, in his opinion!



















We have enjoyed getting to know Lucille and spending time with her so much! It's sad to see her returning to France, but I can just imagine how excited her own mother is to be getting her back! And she'll be home for only 10 days before Dylan joins her there, so she hardly has time to be sad about leaving North America...

We love you, Lucille!
